In a surprise move, Ubuntu developers have agreed to stop shipping Flatpak, preinstalled Flatpak apps, and any plugins needed to install Flatpak apps through a GUI software tool in the default package set across all eight of Ubuntu’s official flavors, as of the upcoming Ubuntu 23.04 release.

by making it clearer about what an “Ubuntu experience” is.

The user experience will be worse, because they can't use Flatpaks without jumping through extra hoops.

So, I guess, a "Ubuntu experience" is a bad experience. Not going to argue with that.

Ubuntu is the stepping stone from Mac/Windows to Linux. Like the tutorial level. It's also one of the most "corporate" Linux OS vendors outside of RedHat. Of course it's shitty lol.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
